Does anyone buy darkroom kit anymore?
Discussion
OP - let us know how you get on; every now and again I think that I should clear my loft of an accumulation of (good quality) enlargers, and then I look at the prices (not) achieved on well known auction sites
and photography forums, and get on with something else.
I've even tried giving them away to a local college ..... they didn't want to know.

My Wife!!
In fairness to her she is doing a degree in photography at the moment and a substantial chunk (most actually) of the work is film and darkroom based. She is constantly scouring the likes of eBay and gum-tree for stuff, photographic paper chemicals etc. So yeah there is definitely a market for it! This week she is getting a large (several Kgs worth) quantity of paper, for the cost of shipping it alone, as she said even if half of it is duff its still works out very cheap.
